Good advice.

Last weekend when we had my husband's kids, his 17 year old son went to a "World of Warcraft" party at a friend's house. Little did my husband know that this friend is in his 20's and married, so there was no kind of parental supervision. My stepson's mother would have never let him go there if she knew, so we know she had no idea, and my husband wasn't too happy about it either. Stepson also thought he could get away with coming home at 1:45 in the morning, something else he'd never try with his mother. He knows better now than to do that with my husband either, but I guess he was testing him. He got seriously busted though.

My husband and I have discovered that his kids will try certain things at our house that would most likely not be allowed at their mother's because my husband is more easy going than his ex is. But now that we are getting wise to them, we check on EVERYTHING they ask to do.
